BIM/CAD Modeler: Roads & Highways

Description

About The Role

CAD And BIM Modeler: Roads & Highways

Cad And Bim Production

• Prepare and develop 2D drawings and 3D BIM/CAD models for roads, highways, and associated civil infrastructure projects.
• Produce general arrangement drawings, horizontal and vertical alignments, long sections, cross-sections, typical sections, grading layouts, junction layouts, and detailed design drawings.
• Support the preparation of concept, preliminary, detailed design, tender, authority submission, and IFC deliverables.
• Extract drawings, schedules, and model outputs from coordinated digital models in accordance with project requirements.

Roads And Highway Modelling

• Develop models and drawings for urban roads, highways, interchanges, junction improvements, service roads, access roads, and complete street corridors.
• Prepare road alignments, profiles, assemblies, corridors, surfaces, and grading models using appropriate CAD/BIM tools.
• Support the modelling of pavement layers, kerb lines, road markings, signage layouts, verge elements, and roadside features where required.
• Assist in the development of earthworks models, cut-and-fill interfaces, and surface coordination for road infrastructure.
• Produce design documentation related to carriageways, roundabouts, intersections, slip roads, median arrangements, footpaths, cycle tracks, and at-grade infrastructure elements.

Civil 3d Corridor Modelling And Design Support

• Use AutoCAD and Civil 3D to develop road models integrated with corridor geometry, grading, surfaces, and utility interfaces.
• Assist with corridor creation, assembly application, target mapping, section generation, and model-based drawing extraction.
• Produce and update cross-sections, volume calculations, levels, and earthworks-related outputs.
• Support quantity-related outputs and material take-offs where required for road and civil works packages.

Multidisciplinary Coordination

• Coordinate with utilities, drainage, structures, transport planning, landscape, and other disciplines to resolve interface issues and clashes.
• Participate in model reviews and clash detection using Navisworks and other coordination tools.
• Maintain model integrity, drawing accuracy, and compliance with project BIM execution plans and delivery standards.
• Incorporate design changes and mark-ups from engineers and project leaders in a timely and accurate manner.
• Standards and Quality
• Apply project and company CAD/BIM standards, naming conventions, templates, layering protocols, and LOD requirements.
• Ensure deliverables are produced in line with client requirements, UAE authority standards, and project-specific drafting conventions.
• Support QA/QC reviews and implement review comments efficiently and accurately.
• Maintain consistency across drawing sets, model files, sheet outputs, and revision control processes.

Project Delivery Support

• Work to agreed programmes, design milestones, and deliverables schedules.
• Collaborate effectively within a fast-paced engineering and digital delivery environment.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in digital delivery workflows, modelling efficiency, and coordination practices.
• Support teams during design development, submission stages, and final IFC production.
• Candidate Profile
• We are looking for an individual with strong practical experience in infrastructure CAD/BIM delivery, particularly in roads and highways projects within the UAE or wider GCC.

Requirements

• Proven experience in CAD/BIM modelling for roads, highways, and civil infrastructure projects.
• Strong experience in AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D.
• Experience developing road corridors, alignments, profiles, cross-sections, surfaces, and grading models.
• Experience preparing design documentation across multiple project stages, from concept through detailed design and IFC.
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams in a consultancy or contractor environment.
• Familiarity with UAE or GCC road design standards, authority submission requirements, and infrastructure delivery environments.
• Experience on projects in Dubai and/or Abu Dhabi.
• Experience supporting major roads, highways, interchanges, junction upgrades, and urban infrastructure corridors.
• Exposure to coordination with utilities, drainage, structures, and traffic/transport disciplines.
• Experience using Navisworks, Revit, and/or InfraWorks.
• Experience working within Common Data Environments such as ACC/BIM 360 or ProjectWise.
• Experience supporting authority submissions and IFC-stage deliverables in the UAE.

Qualifications

• Minimum
• Diploma or certificate in Civil Engineering, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• Preferred
• Additional BIM/CAD certification or Autodesk software training.
• Relevant technical diploma with a focus on roads, highways, or civil infrastructure drafting/modelling.
• We believe that a diverse workforce is key to our business success.
• We seek the best people for our jobs based on their skills, qualifications and experience.
• We embrace the principle of equal opportunity in employment and work towards eliminating all forms of unlawful discrimination in our employment practices.
